Application filed December 18, 1905.V Serial No. 292,303-

Be it known that I, SIE'GFRIED ScHoP-' FLOCHER, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at 768 Craig street, in the city of Montreal, in the vDistrict of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, in the Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cans or Jars, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to im rovements in cans or jars; and the object o the invention is to devise a rece taclevfor paints or other mixtures liable to eterioration and keep the ingredients separate until the mixture is to be used; and it consists, essentially, of a de structible cup suspended from the top edge of the can or liar and a stopper engaging the upper edge of said cup.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a closed j ar of a transparentmaterial, showing the destructible cup therethrough. Fig. 2 is a sectional perspective View of the jar illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspeci tive detail of the destructible cup. Fig. 4 is a sectional perspective View of a jar broken away, showing another form of closure.

Referring to the drawings,- a is the jar shown in Figs. 1 and 2 as made of transparent material, such as glass, and having the upper end thereof reduced to form the neck b. The neck b is externally threaded for the application of a suitable closure.

c is a cup made of a readily-destructible material, such as tinfoil or certain makes of paper or cardboard.l The-cup c preferably Atapers slightly from the top to the bottom and at the to thereof 'has an outwardlyturned flange which rests on the surface e or top ed e of the jar, the bowl of the cup extending ownwardly into the jar.

-f is a closure or cover` of well-known pattern threaded to corres ondawith the threaded neck b of the 'an e closure f is screwed on the neck, an the inner surface ofthe top of said closure contacts with the-flange d of the cup c and presses the said flange firmly against the surface e or'the top edge of the jar. In Fig. 4' a different form of closure isv shown, andpin this 4articular manner of closing the jar the neck ,of the latter is modified somewhat in shape and is notthreaded.

gis a stopper of cork or other compressib'le material, andh is a disk surmounting'said stopper rig and secured thereto bythe ook-. pin c. he h'extends beyond'said cdrk and forms therewith the closure for the jar.

, in w forthe purpose of extinguishing fire; but in The stopper g is insertedin the neck l'of the-- bottle inside the cup c and in being' forced therein resses the sides of the said cup against t e wall of the neck of the fiar. The

stopper is forcedy downwardlyl until `the-lexd i tending portion of the disk h abuts the flange same firmly d of the cup'c and presses the I against-the top'edge ofthe jar. This device is particularly"applicablefor paint cans 'ori y )arscontaining in the cil'p the dry particles,v

such as bronzes. It is Well known in' pared paints that the deterioration is quite rapid when kept in the mixed state, whereas in the present inventionthe drylr ingredient to the mixture may be' kept in. e

7D destructible cup cvandl the liuid in redi'entsl in thefbody of the jar 'a an the c osure rnily Sei cured. They may thus be kept apart until it v'1 is desired to use the mixture. On the re` moval ofthe cover or closure any instrument, such as a penknife or aint-knife, may be ushed down through t e powder and the iiottom of the cup c destroyed with ease. This allows the -contents ofthe said cup to. drop into the oil, when rthe cup may be removed and the mixture stirred.

. I am aware that separate receptacles in jars or causare already known;.but for such objects as I have -already stated the separate receptacles have been of materials impossible to' destroy without ruining the entire receptacle or spilling the, ingredients, and, further, there are of c ourserece tacles having twocompartments, one of a estructible nature,

ich chemicals are keptl to be intermixed such devices the construction, while broadly 'similar to my invention, necessitates other features" comple-tel y alterin the details of .construction and c a ing t urpose thus veliminatii'ig thesimligcity which is se mparticles, may be e same time the vr oc liquid in the main body of the jar kept apart therefrom.

The' jar or' 'may be made of glass,

crockery, or metal-4in. fact, of any material suitable for such mixtures..
